THIS AND THAT

I told someone the other day that I need a boss.  Yep.... someone to keep me on task and tell me what to do next.  I am just that person.....I don't want to think about that part.

But if you give me a job I can do it.  AND.....I want to hire someone to do the parts of my job that I don't want to do.....like floor plans.  Any takers :)

If you are my boss be prepared to micro manage me and check in frequently because I am easily distracted.  While you may think I am on task.....I could have easily strayed and started petting Cami or scrolling Instagram.

How I get anything done is beyond me.  

**sidenote [this post might be late getting out as I got distracted this morning staring into space]

Anyway I took a couple of days and went to the Mart.  Boy it is like a ghost town.....reminds me of the empty halls during the recession.  I tried to order stuff and everything is backordered.  Covid has definitely slowed down all the factories and furniture is now taking 10-12 weeks!  If this pandemic has taught us anything it is definitely patience.

I ordered 2 of these to flank a fireplace and of course I might be retired when they arrive:)

And I picked up this cute vintage rug to make a lumbar pillow for a client!

Which reminds me of this pink bathroom I saw....this color!

I think I told you that my client painted the DR black and then I found this great white table at a consignment shop!  This space  is coming along.....needing curtains and a rug.

And this wallpaper went up.  Totally smitten with it.  The mirror is from Serena and Lily and the vanity came from Wayfair!

I found an old picture of the office.....shocking when you see the after.

Whoa.....embarrassing :)

The other day I made a cake.  Yeah.....I can see the  look of shock on your face.  It was a favor for my neighbor and Lord it proved I need to stick to paint colors.  I made a mess....look carefully as I spilled a whole bottle of vanilla.  

By the grace of God it turned out OK.....

Here was the recipe!

It was fairly complicated.....to me anyway!

How funny is this!  An antique dealer at the Mart had someone paint the bag of Lays on the antique picture....hahahaha

Y'all that is all I can squeeze out today....the well is dry:)

Hope y'all have a great week....

PINK DOORS

Lord I can go down a rabbit hole when I get obsessed about something.  The other day I was at Hedgewood Homes community called Manchester and came across this little beauty.

Holy smokes I just about died and had to pull myself away....lest the owner might call the authorities to have me removed.  It's no fun when people read about you in the news and it's because you did something stupid right?

Pam was sweet enough to give us the color......the outside dark color is SW Black Fox.  I am kind of scared to tell my husband I want to replicate this on our house.....it might be the end of me.  If there is no post on Friday then you know it didn't go well.......

Here is the same color.....doesn't look a bit like the door right?

I remember seeing this on her Instagram page.....

Her inspiration.

And how it looks.....

I think you know where I am going with this.....PINK DOORS.

Of course pinterest and instagram are loaded with images that are seriously drool worthy so I grabbed some to feed my obsession.

I adore the dark with the pale pink.....

I mean....could you die?  

Here are a few of my favorites!

Here is a little mid century pink for you!

Which one is your favorite?

I NEED SOME PINK IN MY LIFE

Without even thinking about this post I took these images yesterday at ADAC in the Schumacher showroom!

There you have it.....a small look into my recent obsession.

BEFORE AND AFTER

We are finishing up our stay at the beach and headed home to Atlanta today.  We got a lot done and if you think this was a vacation....well it didn't feel like it:)

There was about 2 days where I just sat on my butt.....the 31st and the 1st.  I can blame myself a little.....that curse of not being able to relax!

Anybody else like that?

I happened to be looking over at a brown cabinet under the TV and decided that it needed to be white.  I had already taken the doors off and tried to accessorize a little but just wasn't feeling it.

Here is the outcome....followed by the before pictures!

After.....

Now let me show you why I did it!

The waaaaaay before.......

Doors off....attempt at talking myself out of painting it:)

Nope....just not feeling it!

 It took 4 coats.....crikey.  

I was definitely re-thinking my decision.

So much better!

I found most of the stuff at Target, HomeGoods and a few thrift stores.

So much better right?

Our unit is listed on VRBO 68020 [where you can see availability and check prices] but if you want to save the new VRBO fees you can email my husband direct at dkhiggins70@mac.com

Of course while I was at Target they were scraping Christmas and  putting out all the spring stuff!

You might have seen some instastories....

Target went long and deep with the pink!

Amazing.....

Target you are such an inspiration!

And that is the truth.....

OK.....gotta get packed up and hit the road!
